Gilbert Arenas is no stranger to saying wildly stupid things.

In fact, the former NBA All-Star is as much known for saying stupid things these days as he is for his impressive career on the court.

But Arenas took things a step too far recently when he went on a wildly disgusting, xenophobic rant following Team USA’s narrow victory over South Sudan in a pre-Olympics basketball tune-up.

Gilbert Arenas Launches Into Xenophobic Rant About South Sudan

“We got the males, almost lost to some Africans,” Arenas said. “…The king had to save us. I know the LeBron haters are mad.

“We almost lost to the ahi-ahi tribe. This is crazy. Man, Embiid over there god d— throwing the game. He throwing the game for his cousins and s—. We ain’t supposed to be losing to air up there. Come on man, cool running. We not supposed to lose to the cool runnings team.

“They don’t even have shoes! They get their shoes from America. We gotta ship them shoes. They don’t even have basketball rims, dog … we losing to people, they got baskets in the basket. They shooting on f——- peach baskets in dirt, no shoes.”

The entire thing was just wildly disgusting, but unsurprising from Arenas, whose remarkable talent was outshined only by his poor decision-making throughout his career.

Should Team USA lose, or come close to losing to South Sudan? Absolutely not.

The U.S. has significantly more talent on its roster and was favored by 43 points.

But I can guarantee you that Gilbert Arenas does not know the first thing about South Sudan.

His portrayal of South Sudan, and Africa as a whole, was wildly gross and offensive to millions and millions of people.

He’ll tell you he’s just out here keeping it real. But Arenas’ comments are embarrassing and shine a dark light on himself and anybody who associates with hi,.
